Beta/Testing April 17th to 30th

Griffin5413 · April 2016

thanks @fivetimesnoluck - sorry I forgot to mention it here... Its official ladies... my beta came back at 213!!!! I did cheat this morning and POAS so I would have some idea of what to expect but it still doesn't feel real

Hoping we get some more BFP's on this board, us ladies are due for some good news.

Bug hugs at @fivetimesnoluck - I'm just hitting 4 years of trying and first BFP so hold onto hope - it's so hard but I'm so glad I did. Xo

Congrats @girlryanne and @Griffin5413!!

Sorry about your friend's comment @fivetimesnoluck. Sometimes people mean well and just don't get the way we perceive it. And then you want to punch them in the face.

@vssbrm Not sure of next steps just yet. Doc and I spoke on Friday afternoon and he said he wanted to take the weekend to think about my case. He may adjust my protocol, he may not. We had success as far as seeing the follicular shape/size he wanted to see, we just didn't get the BFP. So, I am not sure what he will do. It was our first medicated TI cycle. He should call today with our plan and I guess by this weekend, I will be shooting up something....

Over the weekend, I enjoyed some margaritas, started a puzzle with DH, and finished my memorial tattoo for our five losses. So psyched to have it done.

Good luck to those of you testing this week! Who is still in?? I have high hopes for the rest of y'all!

Onward...!

@fivetimesnoluck - hopefully your dr will have some new ideas soon. I love the idea of the tattoo! Once you get it, you will have to show us pics! 2nd Beta came back at 480 yesterday... It doesn't feel real yet.. First ultrasound will be May 2.

fivetimesnoluck · April 2016

It's done!

Griffin5413 · April 2016

fivetimesnoluck - that's beautiful! I love all of the different flowers and colors. Each is unique just like each of your 5!

Lurking

I'm jealous that you get to go so soon. My doctor won't do the first until 8 weeks, but I'm sneaking in one day early on the 12th. The wait is killing me! My more immediate goal is to get past next Wednesday, which would mean I made is further than my January loss. I'm definitely feeling more positive about this one based on my beta's and symptoms.

@fivetimesnoluck that tattoo is gorgeous! What a nice memorial.

Griffin5413 · April 2016

KatBH - I'm not entirely sure if RE does a regular ultrasound or still the transvaginal which isn't as exciting. This is so new so I'm kind of learning as I go. Praying you make it way past next Wednesday! How are you feeling? what symptoms are you having?

So beautiful! I got one too... though not as colorful or pretty as yours (it's the 3 of swords symbol from tarot deck... a card that has a lot of meaning for me).
It looks stunning. Big hugs.

fivetimesnoluck · April 2016

Thank you, ladies. I have two other very small, hidden tattoos, so this was way out on a limb for me, but I am so happy I went through with it. And though it is big, in most everything I wear aside from tank tops, it is completely covered. It was cathartic.

@oxinfree, you were on my mind through last week. I hope you and DH had a great week away.

So far lots of mild nausea, sore boobs, and (sorry if this is TMI!) but lots of CM. Also lots of mild cramps and twinges, which I'm telling myself is a good thing. Last time I had a BFP was right after my SIL had a mc, so I was nervous the whole time and worried that it would happen to me too. I'm definitely more relaxed this time around, but I would still do beta's every week of my doctor would let me

Griffin5413 · April 2016

KatBH - same here... I was telling myself that there was no way I should be having nausea this early but I definitely get it in waves. It's not terrible and doesn't typically last long but it's definitely there. Then I tell myself that I should be reveling in it b/c that means I'm getting what I've dreamed for so long.

Exactly! Sore boobs, nausea, bloating, I'll happily take it all.

@Griffin5413 I have my first US on May 2nd too!

Griffin5413 · April 2016

@BingALing23 - I'm trying to write down all of the questions I should be asking my RE... I need to get a little notebook or something b/c all of the meds make me forgetful

KatBH · April 2016

That's a good idea @Griffin5413. That way I won't have to keep calling the RE's office like a crazy paranoid person.

Griffin5413 · April 2016

KatBH - I know right! plus if I keep one small enough to carry around in my purse,every time I think of something, I can just add it to my list. I'm sure the RE is used to all of us crazy ladies going through treatment and we aren't asking them anything they haven't heard already but still, I definitely don't feel like so much of a bother.

BingALing23 · April 2016

@Griffin5413 Such a great idea...ill have to steal that from you! I've been so focused on getting to the 2nd that I hadn't even thought about that!

Monica54321 · April 2016

@BingALing23 , @Griffin5413 , @KatBH - If you're a smartphone person... I recommend using Google Keep. It's another google feature, similar to Drive, Calendar, Mail, Maps, etc... It's essentially just a note taking app that you can access from anywhere (phone, computer) and then you can share individual notes / checklists with someone else. I created a Keep note specifically to document questions for the RE & then shared it with DH, who could add his own questions. Then at our dr appts, DH is responsible for monitoring the note and checking off items as they get addressed.

Griffin5413 · April 2016

Monica54321 - that's a great idea!

Starlight811 · April 2016

Not SS anything this cycle but strangely I have had nothing to spot! This cycle I have not even started my typical pre-menstral signs and I am 12dpiui I take hpt & beta on sat. I've had cycles where breasts were so tender, cramps, back pains, bloating, fatigue, increased appetite and all bfn. Our bodies are just so different every cycle!
